Oddly enough, when I ride, I carry the same way I always do any other time. I carry my Rossi 462 in a Don Hume holster worn crossdraw. I always wear a leather jacket and/or a vest when riding, and that makes a perfect cover garment. When wearing only the vest, I wear the extenders so I don't have to worry about the vest flapping open but still leaves plenty of access if I need to get to my weapon quickly.

A little trickier for me because I write a dual sport and often go from the roads to the woods on a whim. I don't do the deep mud stuff anymore (I went through a period of self-daring the first summer I had the bike) but even on regular hard pack, there are a lot of bumps and plenty of jostling. I'm picking up an LCP .380 this week and come next riding season, I'll have to put some thought into how to carry it. This has been a very informative thread. And entertaining in places.

Have tried all holsters, worst are IWB/OWB, nearly lost a J-frame that way, just to much movement along the mid-region. Carry a Charter Arms 44 Tiger in a Bianchi shoulder holster and a PPK on each ankle.

PS: Vulcan, you are right about the Sig P238, I carry one in an (outside) chest pocket of my denim jacket.

The key for me isn't the actual gun I carry which varies from either a Glock 32, Kahr PM9 or S&W 1911 3".....its the holster.
I ususlly wear jeans & t-shirt or even shorts if its that hot out....( I'm not a true Hells Angel wanna-B so I don't wear leather in the blazing summer heat ) so to carry concealed I wear a belly band holster.
